< Psalms 63 >
1 A Psalm. Of David. When he was in the waste land of Judah. O God, you are my God; early will I make my search for you: my soul is dry for need of you, my flesh is wasted with desire for you, as a dry and burning land where no water is;
Oh Bog, ti si moj Bog, zgodaj te bom iskal. Mojo dušo žeja po tebi, moje meso hrepeni po tebi v suhi in žejni deželi, kjer ni vode,
2 To see your power and your glory, as I have seen you in the holy place.
da bi videl tvojo oblast in tvojo slavo, tako kot sem te videl v svetišču.
3 Because your mercy is better than life, my lips will give you praise.
Ker je tvoja ljubeča skrbnost boljša kot življenje, te bodo moje ustnice hvalile.
4 So will I go on blessing you all my life, lifting up my hands in your name.
Tako te bom blagoslavljal, medtem ko živim, svoje roke bom vzdigoval v tvojem imenu.
5 My soul will be comforted, as with good food; and my mouth will give you praise with songs of joy;
Moja duša bo nasičena kakor z mozgom in tolščo in moja usta te bodo hvalila z radostnimi ustnicami,
6 When the memory of you comes to me on my bed, and when I give thought to you in the night-time.
ko se te spominjam na svoji postelji in o tebi premišljujem v nočnih stražah.
7 Because you have been my help, I will have joy in the shade of your wings.
Ker si bil ti moja pomoč, zato se bom veselil v senci tvojih peruti.
8 My soul keeps ever near you: your right hand is my support.
Moja duša trdno sledi tebi; tvoja desnica me podpira.
9 But those whose desire is my soul's destruction will go down to the lower parts of the earth.
Toda tisti, ki iščejo mojo dušo, da bi jo uničili, bodo šli v globočine zemlje.
10 They will be cut off by the sword; they will be food for foxes.
Padli bodo pod mečem; delež bodo za lisice.
11 But the king will have joy in God; everyone who takes an oath by him will have cause for pride; but the false mouth will be stopped.
Toda kralj se bo veselil v Bogu, vsak, kdor prisega z njim, bo v tem užival, toda usta teh, ki govorijo laži, bodo zamašena.
